Right then, the 'Lost' finale...

By now we're all used to scratching our heads every time Lost reaches its season finale - but how about that for a cliffhanger?!

Everything seemed to be happening as it should - the past was rolling out as it 'first' happened, with the Losties seemingly unable to change anything. But then a heavily injured Juliet took a stone to the bomb and - BOOM!

What could this mean? Maybe they have succeeded in changing the past - Oceanic 815 never crashed on the island and everyone went about their happy lives as normal.

Hmm. But if they never crashed on the island, how were they able to go back in time and ensure that they never did crash in the first place? Isn't that a paradox?

As for Juliet, all the signs point to her being dead when the sixth season begins. If being hurled down the pit and then blown up wasn't enough, actress Elizabeth Mitchell has joined the cast of the new version of V, which has been picked up for (an albeit limited) run next season.

And with regards to Locke, did the scene between him and Jacob make sense? If not, a rewatch might be necessary.

At the start of the finale, Jacob's nemesis (who is being nicknamed 'Esau' by some, after the Bible) says that one day he will "find a loophole" to kill Jacob. When Locke finally comes face to face with Jacob, Jacob tells him: "Guess you found your loophole."

Coupled with the simultaneous discovery of Locke's corpse, this surely suggests that 'Esau' has taken on the form of Locke - and the real Locke is dead after all?

The good news is that with just one season left to go, answers aren't too far away. The bad news is that we have over EIGHT MONTHS to go before we start to get those answers.
